Thru an MPIA of all invoices from Attorney Jeff Krew since October, we see that taxpayers also funded his work on a "mold dispute" totaling over $10,000. This is just since October. This is an awful lot of money for a mold problem HCPSS said was remediated before school started and one in which no member of community pursued legal action. What exactly have we paid for?
The day after the Board of Public Works meeting on January 27th, in which Governor Hogan and Comptroller Franchot interrogated Dr. Foose about parent communication and maintenance, Jeff Krew earned $987 from taxpayers.

The Montgomery County Board of Education uses the same law firm.
$10,000 would have bought a lot of disinfectant.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the voters could eliminate the decaying fungus on Howard County’s BOE.
Is that considered legal protection money?
DeletePaying the cost of a private attorney when the money could have been used to correct the mold program is ridiculous. The same principle holds for special education disputes. Jeffrey Krew's fees could, in many cases, pay for the child's educational needs.
ReplyDeleteThey have to be gainfully employed as well in a contemporary society.
DeleteLawyers also have ethical standards that apply to their work.
DeleteNot Jeffrey Krew.
